Canada
An international perspective
For the investor or resident, Canada’s financial centre has much to offer besides its well-documented green spaces, crystal-clear lakes, world-class restaurants and shopping. Few major cities provide such a wide range of property price points. Whether you are looking for a pied-a-terre or 10,000ft2 of detached grandeur, Toronto has something to fit your needs and your budget.

The rise and rise of Toronto
Safe and fun are not two words you usually hear in the same sentence. Toronto is too polite to boast, but if it could, you would hear about its on-trend restaurants, a vibrant nightclub scene, its renowned annual film festival, and its accessible parks and waterfront. Right on Toronto’s doorstep are the picturesque lake districts of Muskoka and Georgian Bay, and the wine lover’s paradise of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Overseas property investors agree that Canada’s prudent banks and reputation...

Rediscovering the great outdoors
Finding the ideal holiday or retirement home has always presented a dilemma. Buy a home in a resort with well-developed leisure amenities and you will likely find yourself cheek by jowl with your neighbours. A more secluded and private abode, on the other hand, is unlikely to enjoy doorstep access to recreation and lifestyle facilities.
Now there is a third option, and it is located within one of the most beautiful scenic and recreational areas in Canada. The Lac en Ciel resort is now ...

Vancouver: A beacon of prosperity

The answers are multi-faceted, with the easy explanation being the investment in infrastructure for the Winter Olympics due to be held in ...

Into the Winnebago
Many tourists flock to the capital of the island, Victoria, to sample its quaint charm and spend an afternoon perusing art galleries and indulging in a novelty fish ‘n’ chip supper. It must come as a pleasant alternative to the great outdoors, where many Canadians can spend everyday scaling huge mountains and avoiding ‘Grizzlies’. But for those of us who make the trip across the Atlantic, Victoria offers little in novelty and, for some, may appear far too much like hom...
